Frankly, there's no point in doing this sort of gig if you can't occasionally pimp for your friends and "My Happy Place" was written by my bud Taii K. Austin and finds Dr. Kelso trying to rekindle flames between J.D. and Elliott. I'm not sure why he'd want to do that, but I'll be tuning in for the episode to find out.

Past Events

J.D. attempts to convince the rest of the doctors to take the time to do the little and unconventional things that make their patients happier, but he is soon caught in a moment of hypocrisy when he refuses to shave his head for a chemo patient.

Remember how we suggested back at the beginning of February that ABC was going to air the season finale of "Scrubs" and that we were wholly unwilling to say that it was the series finale, no matter what the prognosticators thought? Yeah, well, as you may have guessed, ABC didn't air the season finale back then, opting instead to show it tonight. You might think we'd feel foolish for having the finale date incorrect. We don't. Instead, we see it as confirmation that against all odds the show's life keeps getting extended. No, there's no DNR in place for "Scrubs," all heroic life-saving measures are welcome.

It would be foolhardy - no matter what ABC and anyone else involved may say - to blithely assume that tonight's season finale of "Scrubs" is in fact the last new episode we'll ever see of the series. We have all heard that line too many times in the past to take it as face value. Maybe next year the whole cast and crew will be different, maybe next year it will be about people who work for a cleaning service instead of in a hospital, but until the show actually stops making new episodes for a full 12 months, we just don't buy that's it really gone. So, come and watch the season finale, and look forward to whatever next year may bring.

We know what you're thinking, "didn't 'Scrubs' end two years ago?" No, it just switched networks. Obviously, your next thought is "Oh, yeah, I remember that! Say, didn't J.D. leave the hospital for good at the end of the show's first year on ABC?" Yes, yes he did, but he came back at the start of this season in order to be a professor at Sacred Heart Medical School, and now he's getting ready to leave again. Maybe tonight isn't his last night, maybe he'll still be at Sacred when the show flips over to CBS in four years, but tonight J.D. is preparing to depart.

Will some of the original cast only appear occasionally this season? Yes. Are they now teaching at Sacred Heart Medical School? Yes. Is that really weird? Yes. But, let's not confuse weird with won't be good. ABC is delivering back-to-back episodes of the series tonight, and you really ought to reserve judgment until you watch them. As long as J.D. doesn't end his relationship with Elliot, it all might just work. At this point we've put way too much effort into wishing them together to see them fall apart.

Is this the end of the road for Bill Lawrence's long-running medical comedy?

After seven seasons on NBC and one on ABC, it's time for another "Scrubs" season finale and one of these days, that'll just be it for Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, John C. McGinley and the rest of the team.

ABC certainly hasn't revealed any plans for the future of "Scrubs" and it's unlikely those plans will be revealed until upfronts in May.
